Over the course of each season, Fortnite new releases are what keep gamers interested in the game. These upgrades introduce new POIs, spice up the loot pool, and are eagerly anticipated by fans. And now, the Fortnite v20.30 update has arrived in the game, and here’s what players can expect from the third content update of Chapter 3 Season 2.
Fortnite Battle Royale v20.30 Update
The Battle For Tilted Towers kicks off in this new update
The Resistance won the Battle for Rocky Reels with a standing ovation and a triumph! This reclaimed POI has Funding Stations for an Armored Battle Bus and a set of Turrets.
But the most important POI Battle is yet to begin: the Battle for Tilted Towers will determine the fate of the entire island. Join the Resistance in their fight against the IO! An IO Blimp carrying Huntmaster Saber, who refuses to stand down, soars over the buildings.
Star Wars content returns in the game
Fortnite is set to celebrate Star Wars Day all year, not just on May 4th! Battle with Lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles from May 3 to May 17, 2022. Completing new Star Wars quests will also grant you access to an Empire Banner.
Lightsabers are back! Pick up Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber, Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber, and Mace Windu’s Lightsaber across the Island. What about the blue lightsabers? There are blue ones too, but this time they’re Obi-Wan‘s.
Players can now use the E-11 Blaster Rifle when they return to the island! Stormtroopers have set up checkpoints in the search for Obi-Wan; visit one of these checkpoints and trade your Bars for a Blaster! They can also be found in chests and on the ground.
In the spirit of Stormtroopers, the new Star Wars Quests feature Stormtrooper training. These Quests, which are available now through May 17 at 12 a.m. ET will require you to seize a “land speeder” (a.k.a. a vehicle), seize and use “Jedi contraband” (a.k.a. a lightsaber), and more. The 4th Quest awards XP every May, and completing five will win you an Empire Banner.
Over the course of the Star Wars Day festivities, every non-Battle Pass Star Wars Outfit that’s been in the Item Shop will make an intergalactic comeback:
- Imperial Stormtrooper
- Kylo Ren
- Zorii Blis
- Finn
- Rey
- Sith Trooper
- Boba Fett
- Fennec Shand
- Krrsantan
Funding Stations for Choppas have been set up
The IO isn’t the only ones with the ability to fly. Choppa funding stations have been set up throughout the Seven Outposts where you can chip in Bars to get this vehicle out of the vault! Fly across the map and attack from above after a Choppa has reached 100% funding.
Browse Menu has been added
The Browse menu has been added next to Discover! This menu is broken up into categories (such as Action, Casual, and Combat), making it easier to find new games in the genres you love.
Competitive updates
- Forces at Tilted Towers are not in active conflict in competitive playlists, but the resulting destruction has occurred and Huntmaster Saber has still relocated.
- Lightsabers and E-11 Blaster Rifles are not included in competitive playlists.
- Choppas will not be brought into competitive playlists.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue involving most Seven Outpost Vaults being unopenable.
Fortnite Creative v20.30 Update
Armored Battle Bus
When you combine a Prop Mover, Tilted Towers, and an Armored Battle Bus, you will get something very explosive and advantageous in a battle in Fortnite. For maximal ramming strength, the Armored Battle Bus and the Cow Catcher gadgets will be available at 20.30.
Island Template Updates
Fortnite’s Video Player device (formerly known as Llamatron) was released in version 20.20, allowing you to broadcast a set of preloaded music videos. And now the game will offer a template called “Music Experience Island” to assist you in creating a fantastic device experience.
The old Zone Wars Template Island has been modified to reflect the new standard and new devices released since the template was first built. Billboards outlining the new devices and how the island was developed are also included in the update!
Player Reference Device Update
The developers have updated the Player Reference Device with more customizable options, and the ability to simplify mechanics without having to use several devices to achieve your desired results!
Shotguns Balance Adjustments
All Shotguns have received a damage balance update in the Fortnite v20.30 update. The damage to most shots and headshots will be increased as a result of these adjustments. A max damage cap has been added to all shotguns, limiting the amount of damage a single shot may do.
